Under 2 months of lockdown plus 10 months of partial functioning our study consistently finds potential wage losses that are sizeable and uneven across the wage distribution all around Spain, but with different intensity depending on the region’s productive structure. The increase of the headcount poverty index oscillates between 8.2 (Navarre) and 19.2 (the Balearic Islands) percentage points, while the Gini coefficient rises between 2.3 (Navarre) and 5.3 (the Balearic Islands) Gini points. We also find that inequality between regions increases, eroding regional cohesion in Spain.engtechnical reporthttps://www.ucm.es/icae/working-papershttps://www.ucm.es/icaeopen accessD33E24J21J31COVID-19povertyinequalityteleworkingsocial distancingregionsSpain.Trabajo
